BREEZY COMEDY

In Hold. That Girl" At The King's

Love-making and wise-cracking .at a fast "und merry pace, Janics Dunn and Claire Trevor appear to- gether again in Fux Film's latest release "Hold That Girl!" at the King's Theatre to-day. The smart. repartee of the two screen sweet- hearts in this brisk and breezy comedy romance kept the large audience constantly laughing.

A smart, young Irish detective falls in love with a girl, reporter while they are both working on the same assignment, The course of love is very 'uneven and they run into constant disputes over their conflicting assignments. On various occasions the young detec- tive has the girl arrested or false charges, "beause of her constant interference with his work. She arouses his jealousy by accepting dates with another sultor. who, unknown to her, is a gangster. On a jewel robbery assignment, upon which both are working, the girl slips into a car, and is the witness to the jeweller's murder. She is discovered and brought to the gang's hangout, where she learns that Ner gentleman crook is the leader of the mob. He tries to save her from the same fate with which the jeweller met, but the mob insists upon doing away with her because she is a reporter and knows too much for safety. Mean-

while, the young detective has tralled the car, and arrives on the scene in time to save his sweet- heart sund to apprehend the gangsters.

The ,performances of James Dunn and Claire Trevor are eren better than in their last picture. "Jimmy and Sally." and that's saying a great deal. The other members of the cast who do te- markably well in their allotted roles are Alan Edwards, Gertrude Michael, John' Davidson, Robert

"NO MORE WOMEN"

At The Oriental

Even the bottom of the sea is not big enough to hold both Ed- mund Lowe and Victor McLaglën, those rivals of countless screen

battles. "No More Women" (show

ing at the Oriental Theatre on Friday and Saturday), is a riotous saga of salvage divers, perhaps the most colourful offering of the team's career.

Divers by day and Romeos by night, they clout and caress their way through a veritable cyclone of adventure and ramander It all begins when Eddie outsmarts Vic, diver on a completing salvage tug. by recovering $20,000, in gold, from a submerged rum-runner.

Matters are not improved when the tug on which Vic works is: in- herited by a young and attractive girl. Eddie likes her looks

and promtly quits his boat to join her crew, causing Vic to be demoted in

Jank,

From then on the fun is intense, with more than a suficient num-

Along with the comedy, the picture unfolds thrill after thrill, climaxing in a dseperate fight for life on the ocean bottom."
